Nope, not retarded - just a little slow since you didn't notice that design flaw before purchasing two of them. Soon as I saw the first photo's I knew that rail was going to cause problems because it forces you to use higher mounts just like on an AR10/15 to get the needed objective clearance. It's not as much a problem on AR's as the top of the rail isn't much higher than the comb of the stock, but on a bolt gun it's about 3-4x higher creating a major cheek weld issue.

Another prime example of why you don't let the marketing dept. dictate product features.

Good news is that Tactical Works has a couple products that might help you with raising the comb height a little on the PRS stock.
